Industry Overview

 The Ministry of Food Processing estimates the size of the Food Processing Industry at Rs3,150bn (US$70bn), including Rs990bn (US$22bn) of value added products. The Food Processing Industry is estimated to grow at 9-12%, on the basis of an estimated GDP growth rate of 6-8%, during the tenth plan period.Value addition of food products is expected to increased from the current 8% to 35% by the end of 2025. Fruit & vegetable processing which is currently around 2% of total production will increase to 10% by 2010 and to 25% by 2025.


The industry employs 1.6mn workers directly. The number of people employed by the industry is projected to grow to 37mn direct and indirect job workers by 2025.The total exports of the Food Processing Industry in 2001-02 were Rs136bn and the target exports for 2002-03 was at Rs146bn. Marine products export was the single largest constituent of the total exports of processed foods contributing over 40% of total processed food exports.



Five-year tax holiday for new food processing units in fruits and vegetable processing along with other benefits in Budget 2004-05 has bolstered the Government’s resolution of encouraging growth in this sector. India is the largest producer of milk in the world with an estimated production of 91mn tons in the year 2002-03. Milk and milk products account for a significant 17% of India’s total expenditure on food and the popular milk products are cheese, butter, ghee, dairy whiteners and ice-creams.



The Indian snack food market comprising bakery products, ready to eat mixes, curries, chips, namkeens and other processed foods is large, diverse and dominated by the unorganized sector.
The total size of the Indian snack food market is at an estimated over 400,000 tons in volume terms and Rs100bn in value terms and is growing at over 10% for the last three years (2000-2003). The three largest consumed categories of packaged foods are packed tea, biscuits and soft drinks.


INDIA has a nascent but rapidly transforming retail food industry that creates business opportunities not only for domestic producers but also for overseas exporters. International attention is now increasingly focused on the rapidly growing Indian food retail market. With the removal of quantitative restrictions on imports, Indian consumers can have access to food from around the world. The largely export-oriented US food industry is now targeting India for sales.

When combined with key demographic trends of a fast-expanding and wealthier middle class; changing food consumption patterns; a realistic prospect of continued robust economic growth over the medium term; and an increasing emphasis on infrastructure investment, it bodes well for aggressive US suppliers interested in entering one of the world's potentially largest untapped markets for consumer-ready food products, the US embassy in New Delhi has said in a report.

Quoting industry experts, the report, intended essentially to inform prospective American suppliers business opportunities offered by India, has placed the market sales of food and beverage retailing in the country at $ 135 billion and growing at about 4-5 per cent per annum.

Retailing is not yet a structurally organised industry in India, probably as a result of poverty, regional diversity (ethnicity, income levels, marketing system, purchasing behaviour etc), fragmented small agricultural production system, domestic policies that limit inter-State commerce and inadequate infrastructure, the report pointed out.

Food products are sold by an estimated 6.5 million at small grocery stores, while organised food retailing is limited to urban areas.

Large discount hypermarkets are emerging in most major metropolitan cities offering increased value to price-conscious consumers.

Market analysts believe that hypermarkets will determine the future of organised food retailing over the short-to-medium term, the report pointed out adding that traditional grocers are also gradually redefining themselves by increasing floor space, and introducing self-service format and value-added services such as credit and home delivery.
